Someday I'll manage to properly post a link.
Some thoughts on the official trailer.
I've been a Bungie follower for quite some time and if any of you are you probably know what I'll be slightly mentioning here.
Bungie began as a Mac game developer and for a long time were very renowned as the premier developer of games for the Macintosh. Granted Blizzard was very well known and made good games, Bungie had a certain following. Hidden within source code of some of their games were small lines that showed great discourse for Microsoft and Bill Gates.
Now Bungie is owned by Microsoft. Imagine that. A strong disappointment that they only develop their games for Xbox now, with someone porting them to Macintosh and PC.
Quite aggravating as that their super hi res trailer is in Windows Media format only. I don't know about most of you, but I hate WMV. Their quality isn't good, not even on a fairly decent video card. The Quicktime counterpart (Apple) is at a much lower quality. This just wasn't necessary.
It's disappointing to see a once very strong Mac developer abandoning it and settling for a one sided bias.
Anybody else think this is bad? Good? I know plenty people here are hardcore PC, but hey.. I'm not trying to make a platform wars. Bungie left both Mac and PC. Their trailer is PC-centric and low pc quality at that.
